Abstract: Method and apparatus for sampling an electrical signal in order to obtain at least one signal weighted together from two or more samples, in which in a first step the electrical signal is connected to a number of capacitors connected in parallel. In a second step, one capacitor is disconnected from the electrical signal at each time of sampling and in a third step, when the sampling is completed, the capacitors are connected together. In this manner, one or more signals weighted together are generated in dependence of the charge of the capacitors when they are disconnected from the electrical signal and of the capacitances of the capacitors.

Abstract: A method of detecting the division of a radar target can detect a target, for instance caused by the release of a weapon from an aircraft which is tracked by a monopulse radar whose antenna is aligned onto the target with the aid of azimuth and/or elevation difference signals. Division of the radar target can be detected irrespective of whether the target is equipped with and uses an interference transmitter, by establishing a search channel in the radar difference channels. This channel has a sensitivity which is very low in a direction towards the tracked target, but which increases rapidly in directions which deviate somewhat from the direction towards the target. The search channel can be established by comparison of the absolute values of the signal levels in the difference channels with a threshold value.

Abstract: An arrangement is provided for correcting the phase and amplitude errors occurring in the quadrature detector of a Doppler radar system. A correction unit (KE) is connected to both analogue-digital converters (AD1, AD2) in the I and Q channels to receive a radar signal which has been received by the system antenna and phase-detected in the quadrature detector (FD1, FD2, FS). The output of the correction unit (KE) is connected to a regulating network (RN) for sensing the output signals from the correction unit (KE) and controlling the latter so that the amplitude and phase errors (a' and .theta.') will be zero.
